Grima

Grima is a name that can refer to different things in fiction and the real world, including a fictional character, surnames, and place names. The most widely known use is tied to J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium and its adaptations.

In Tolkien's works, Gríma Wormtongue, often called Gríma, is the treacherous adviser to King Théoden of Rohan. He serves Saruman and influences the king through insinuation and flattery, contributing to Rohan's vulnerability during the War of the Ring. His manipulation is exposed by Gandalf and Théoden, and his influence wanes as the alliance opposes Saruman and Sauron.

Beyond fiction, Grima also appears as a surname and as a place name in various regions. As a toponym or family name, its origin and meaning can differ across languages and locales, and it may be found in diverse cultural contexts.
